Bloomberg started off down playing the BBC scandal as saying Trump was a bully but quickly retreated below.

"Unfortunately, viewing the Trump imbroglio through this misty-eyed lens ignores the depth of the mess the BBC has got itself into, a lapse that’s potentially existential. Even though the president is furiously milking the BBC’s blunder for all its worth, he’s not in the wrong here".

You said that back six months ago. FAKE news 

"One off-ramp is for Starmer to persuade the president to back away. He can point out that BBC heads have rolled".

From the Bloomberg article . 

This writer is grasping at straws. Trump the BBC by the short hairs and everybody knows it.

Starmer has ridiculous low ratings .

BBC investigated by US watchdog for ‘deceptive’ Trump edit

Chairman of Federal Communications Commission writes to broadcaster to determine whether it broke regulator’s rules

He spelt out how the Panorama programme spliced together parts of a speech that were separated by 54 minutes.

“In doing so, the BBC programme depicts President Trump voicing a sentence that, in fact, he never uttered,” he wrote. “That would appear to meet the very definition of publishing a materially false and damaging statement.”

Mr Carr’s letter was also sent to PBS and NPR, two outlets that distribute BBC programming in the US.

Senator Kennedy:

Added his take on the deliberate manipulation of the documentary and other BBC maleficence. BBC made it look like the Proud Boys marched to the Capital as Trump spoke, but in reality they went before his speech.  

 

2.Fabricated Quotes About Liz Cheney.

3.Reported Biased Coverage of the Israel/Hamas War,that favored Hamas.

It's just that maybe none of those tens of millions of people worldwide who saw the doco before the 05 NOV election were in the US of A.

Trump’s Defamation Case Against CNN Falls Flat

Every single shred of evidence says that it is a lie. There has never been a single piece of credible evidence presented that indicated the 2020 election was stolen.

BBC Scandal

 

Google ai Overview:

"In late 2025, the BBC faced major scandal following a leaked internal memo alleging systemic editorial bias and a misleading edit of a Donald Trump speech for a Panorama documentary. This led to the resignation of Director General Tim Davie and Chief Executive Deborah Turness. The editing scandal prompted a threat of a $1 billion lawsuit from Donald Trump, while the leaked memo detailed accusations of a pro-Kamala Harris bias in the 2024 US election coverage and other instances of alleged misinformation".

Mr Carr’s letter was also sent to PBS and NPR, two outlets that distribute BBC programming in the US.

Also:

 

Federal Communications Commission (FCC) chief Brendan Carr wrote to the BBC's outgoing director general Tim Davie - and to top executives at public service broadcasters NPR and PBS, whose member stations air some BBC content.

 

Carr said he wanted to determine if the BBC provided either the video or audio of the spliced speech to any broadcaster "regulated by the FCC for airing in the US".

 

The BBC has previously stated it did not have the rights to, and did not, distribute the Panorama episode on its US channels.

 

As well as stating it did not have the rights to, and did not, distribute the Panorama episode on its US channels, the BBC also said that when the documentary was available on BBC iPlayer, it was restricted to viewers in the UK.

______________________

This from the original letter Trump attorney Brito sent to the BBC, note that it mentions the broadcast in question was first aired OLCT 28 a week before the US election. It appears the Carr letter makes no reference as to WHEN the broadcast was shown.

AI quickie Gemini

 

The BBC has stated that the Panorama documentary episode concerning Donald Trump, titled "Trump: A Second Chance?", was not distributed or aired on its US channels, and was restricted to UK viewers on platforms like iPlayer.

 

Recent reports regarding a probe launched by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the US, which included letters to PBS and NPR alongside the BBC, indicate that the American outlets never aired the documentary in question.

 

NB Trump said on Truth Social:

 

“The TOP people in the BBC, including TIM DAVIE, the BOSS, are all quitting/FIRED, because they were caught 'doctoring' my very good (PERFECT!) speech of January 6th,” Trump posted on Truth Social. “These are very dishonest people who tried to step on the scales of a Presidential Election. 

I don't think then, and maybe even still, Mr. Trump realizes the doco was never shown in the US prior to the election.

"The Telegraph also reported on Friday that one of Donald Trump's libel lawyers met Downing Street officials days after the US president threatened to sue the BBC.

Robert Garson said his trip had nothing to do with the proposed lawsuit, but that they "may have spoken about antisemitism at the BBC"

 

Can Mr. Starmer save the BBC & its biggest historical fake news scandal ?

The lawsuit Mr. Trump said would be probably filed next week is now last week.

 

Updated Nov 15, 2025

 

US President Donald Trump says he intends to sue the BBC for between $1 billion and $5 billion “probably sometime next week” despite the broadcaster’s apology to him over a documentary Trump’s lawyers described as defamatory.

 

“I think I have to do it,” Trump told reporters. “They’ve even admitted that they cheated … They cheated, they changed the words coming out of my mouth.”

And yet for all that, hundreds of people  swore, on the Bible, thats what they thought he meant when they stormed the Capitol in an attempt to carry out mass murder. We assume these people, many now is receipt of a Presidential pardon for their acts of Terrorism, were not pathological liars, because of the Bible and all.

From the CBC link above:

 

The BBC said last week that Shah sent a letter to the White House saying that he and the corporation were sorry for the edit of the speech. But the broadcaster said it had not defamed Trump and rejected the basis for his lawsuit threat.

 

Legal experts have stated that Trump would likely face challenges in taking a case against the BBC's documentary to court in the U.K. or the U.S. They argue that the BBC could demonstrate that Trump wasn't harmed, as he was ultimately elected president in 2024.

  I hope this is transparent & the whole world can see the results of the BBC reckless contractors, somebody has to be held accountable for the scandal of perpetuating  a Fake News documentary , 1 week before the 2024 election.

  Google ai Overview:

• "External Production Company: The documentary was produced by an independent production company based in London called October Films, not by BBC news reporters themselves, although the BBC is editorially responsible for all content it airs.

• Parliamentary Scrutiny: A cross-party group of MPs on the House of Commons Culture, Media and Sport Committee has written to BBC chairman Samir Shah to demand a full response and ask what action is being taken. The Committee is reviewing the situation but has not initiated a criminal investigation"

1 week before the 2024 election but was never shown in the US of A.

 

From the ABC complaint filed by Attorney Brito:

 

is the british parliament gonna get into bbc bias coverage of Hamas a TRO,as a result of the scandal fake news  discovered against  President Trump?

Thank You BBC Chair: You just gave everyone who recognized the BBC & Its deep fake manipulated documentary  a Happy Thanksgiving by restating the facts,

False & Defamatory. And it wasn't a mistake,it was intentional .It  was egregious and everyone wants to know why it was done.

 

"BBC Chair forced to admit embarrassing failure on Trump".

 

 

Its time to make the BBC accountable. Its time to Make the BBC Great Again,

Just like all the rest, by holding them responsible for their fake news deception.

The suit continues.

Go, Trump. I heard he's going for $5 billion. 👍

Google ai overview: BBC slogan,

"Nation Shall Speak Peace Unto Nation": This is the official motto from the BBC's coat of arms, adopted in 1927, signifying its purpose to unite and inform.

 

Fast forward 100 years ,it appears to highlight a perceived irony or hypocrisy ,I think. The  motto's emphasis on peaceful discourse and truthful communication turned into  allegations of deception in BBC coverage of the January 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol events. All in a effort to deceive a world audience ,  8 days before the most consequential election the world has ever seen.

 

I think collecting on a fake news story deception perpetuated by  the world famous state sponsored BBC  will make the left news reporters dig a little deeper as they try to spin public opinion next time, its up to $10 billion. 

 

google ai overview:

 

"Yes, it's official: Donald Trump has filed a $10 billion defamation lawsuit against the BBC in a Miami federal court, alleging the broadcaster defamed him by deceptively editing his speech before the January 6th Capitol riot, making it seem he called for violence, despite the BBC apologizing for an "error of judgment" and admitting the edit was misleading. Trump's legal team claims the BBC showed no "meaningful institutional changes" and has a history of bias, seeking $5 billion for defamation and another $5 billion for violating Florida's unfair trade practices act, according to reports from late 2025".

You have to be genuinely clueless to celebrate a President abusing the power of his office to extort cash from private parties.

In his lawsuit, Trump cites agreements the BBC had with other distributors to show content, specifically one with a third-party media corporation that allegedly had licensing rights to the documentary outside the UK. The BBC has not yet responded to these claims, nor has the corporation with the alleged distribution agreement.

 

The suit also claims that people in Florida may have accessed the programme using a VPN or by using streaming service BritBox.

 

"The Panorama Documentary's publicity, coupled with significant increases in VPN usage in Florida since its debut, establishes the immense likelihood that citizens of Florida accessed the Documentary before the BBC had it removed," the lawsuit said. (my bold)
